In essence, I�m asking what makes a better hero, those chosen by fate, or those, of free will, choose to beat back the darkness.

Well, the only obvious answer is, ‘both.’ Kal-El was chosen by fate to wield tremendous power, but CHOSE to use if for good (unlike, say, Zod.)

Anthony Stark chose to fight evil as Iron Man, but was gifted with tremendous intellect and epic financial resources to do so…

What I wondered at the end was ‘Is B3′ dead or not?

Agreed, the WB mad a bad choice getting rid of the better show (of the two, at the time).

Matthew, you bring up an interesting issue..”completely embodies what the Chosen One is: a woman with a mission she didn�t choose, powers she might be happier without, who finds out that she has to die to save the world, and still fights on�”

B3, as Faith would call her, is a hero, a great hero. But because fate conspired with destiny to have power and thrust upon her, like all the Slayers, does that make her a better hero then the ones who decided to ‘fight the good fight’?

In essence, I’m asking what makes a better hero, those chosen by fate, or those, of free will, choose to beat back the darkness.

I’m looking foward to seeing Angel and (to a lesser extent) Spike in upcoming issues. I was sorry to see Angel (the TV series) go. Damn you WB network, may you be no more. Oh, wait….you are. Mwahaha!
